Consider “White”.\u00a0 It is a qualia like other “colors”, and shares the same essence.\u00a0 It materially does not exist.\u00a0 It is immaterial.<\/p>\n

However White differs from other qualia in an important way.\u00a0 White does not even have a message transfer component, which IS material, i.e. photons at call it 350 THz transmits the information “Red” (though this is just a guess, as my “Red” might be your “Green”).<\/p>\n

However White does not have this.\u00a0 We “see” white when a full spectrum of photons strikes our cones.\u00a0 The cones do not have the resolution to separate out the various photons, and so the impulse of all of the frequencies sent through the optic nerve is perceived as “White”.\u00a0 However in the material world there is NO frequency that corresponds to “White”.\u00a0 Think about it until you get it.\u00a0 Not only is White qua White immaterial, there is nothing in the material world that corresponds to transmitting “White”.<\/p>\n

The proof is easy.\u00a0 Shine red light at a whiteboard, and you will see a red board.\u00a0 Another proof is the prism, which reveals the “White” is a mirage, in fact there is a full spectrum of frequencies present.<\/p>\n

The significance of this is in the existence theorem.\u00a0 Note there is no existence theorem for qualia.\u00a0 However you could START an existence theorem for most qualia, however you eventually reach a dead end.\u00a0 So an existence theorem for “Red” would START with observing that 350 THz photons corresponds with Red.\u00a0 You can’t even START an existence theorem with “White”.<\/p>\n

The immaterial world exists, and that is a fatal error for atheism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
